Edwards Vacuum
Half-megawatt rooftop solar woven into a live, high-specification industrial manufacturing site.
High energy demand was creating a growing operational cost burden.
As a major manufacturing facility, Edwards Vacuum operates energy-intensive processes that require a reliable and cost-effective electricity supply. Rising energy costs presented an opportunity to reduce operating expenditure while supporting wider sustainability objectives.
Infrastructure designed around how the site actually consumes energy.
Nuvolt assessed the site's energy profile and designed a 512 kWp rooftop solar PV system aligned with operational demand. The solution was integrated alongside wider building services infrastructure and engineered to maximise on-site generation while supporting long-term performance.
- Reduced grid dependency, lowering operational carbon emissions
- Improved energy cost control, reducing exposure to wholesale volatility
- Installation delivered within a live manufacturing facility with no operational disruption
- Ongoing performance oversight protecting yield and long-term return
More than £71,000 in projected annual savings.
The completed system provides Edwards Vacuum with a significant source of on-site renewable generation, reducing reliance on imported electricity and creating long-term cost certainty. The project is forecast to deliver annual savings exceeding £71,000 with a projected payback period of approximately five years.
